Our beloved boxer, Josie. We rescued her from the humane society 3 years ago in March. During that time she has become a member of our family and we take her everywhere we can. Yes, she is spoiled beyond belief! Today I took her on one of her beloved hikes through our woods and tried…

The last month of 2017 is here! My Nikon did not get much use in November, only 33 images to be exact. Hence not much of a recap here, you have been forewarned. There has been a lot of napping! Josie & Sir Purrs enjoying some quality time together. After a grocery shopping trip, we…

My poor Nikon, she sits lonely on the shelf wondering what she has done wrong. It’s me, not you I want to say. Over the past month, I took her out to practice using my flash, worked with white balance and attempted some self-portrait photography. Although that sounds like my Nikon got some usage, it…

May flew right on by without photos to document the month. I told myself I would get the camera out in June as not to miss another month. Here is a selection of my photos from June. Our little Nugget! He is such a cool cat. He went missing recently but managed to find his…

Another month has passed! This month I had the flu, which took me out of commission for over a week. Four days of laying around, unable to do anything. Then an additional week and a half trying to fully recover my strength and appetite. I cannot tell you how happy I am that is over. When…

If you missed the last Simple Life Sunday post click here. Sounds like a title for a Winnie the Pooh story. No bears here, but plenty of bees, now if only I could find that honey pot. This grand adventure happened quite by accident. We had no intention of moving shortly after I left my…

Last week I brought home a sweet dog from the shelter for a “doggie overnight”. (It ended up being a few overnights, 4 to be exact). The shelter where I volunteer was happy to give him the break and I had the opportunity to give them feedback on his behaviour. Plus, we wanted to see…

This monthly challenge has really inspired me to get out and take more photographs. With an abundance of subject matter to photograph and a challenge to motivate me, my Nikon has been venturing out more. In the past, I would often leave my camera behind, but now I find myself reaching for it. “I have…

Our boxer, Josie, enjoying the fresh snowfall. Within the same week, we had an unseasonably warm day. With temperatures nearing 70° F (21° C), I had to break out the sandals. How I love Indiana, where you may have snow one day and sunny warm weather the next. This is the case right now. Today…

This monthly photo challenge is new to my blog for 2016. The idea behind this challenge comes from Cardinal Guzman’s blog. Living on 100 forested acres, this challenge really appealed to me. I try and get out for a hike or a 4 wheeling excursion several times a week. Last year, I found it fascinating…

When we adopted our boxer from the Humane Society I wanted to feed her high quality food. After much research and much frustration, I arrived at the conclusion most of the dog food on the market is junk. Even some of the “top of the line” brands are full of things I do not want…

October has been a busy photography month, leaving me with less time to blog. No complaints here, I love my job and this time of year is wonderful for business. November has arrived and it does not seem possible only two months remain in 2015. Seriously, I am looking for the pause button on life…
